Chapter 684
It is actually true that the 600,000 troops who attacked Youzhou this time were to draw the troops stationed in Chang'an and Luoyang, but not all of them. Most of the 200,000 troops around Emperor Yang of Sui are recruited by Chang'an and Luoyang.
There are indeed not many troops stationed in Chang'an and Luoyang, but these things are not something ordinary people worry about.
The people may just like to join in the fun, and the news naturally reached the ears of those who are interested. All forces are discussing that Chang'an and Luoyang have indeed not many troops, and it is recognized as a fact.
They were all waiting for the Sui army to fight with Youzhou soldiers. As long as the two sides could stand stalemate, they would have more confidence in fighting for their greatest interests.
Just as the forces from all sides were watching, the soldiers and horses in Youzhou had already taken action.
While the Sui State was rushing to the road, the cavalry in Youzhou had already arrived at the target location and were already preparing for the blocking.
Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin led the two troops to directly block the people who had besieged Taiyuan Prefecture as quickly as possible.
The last time they were beaten by the Li family's soldiers, they threw away their armor, and the reassembled troops were still a mob. They continued to respond to Emperor Yang of Sui's summons to gain more benefits.
I originally wanted them to disband directly, but these princes and generals were very stubborn and said with a high sound that this was to protect the Sui Kingdom.
Emperor Yang of Sui had no choice but to continue to let them be cannon fodder. Even if they are the combat power of 100,000 soldiers, they can still play a role if they win with more than a few.
As long as someone has a show, they can calm down.
Unfortunately, the vanguards will not let them be the support of the siege.
Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin were becoming more and more mature in leading troops to fight, especially the two of them were best at night sneak attacks. Their goal was to weaken the enemy's troops, so they quickly went first to find the 100,000 marching team.
"I didn't expect that the most battle we fought was sneak attacks. Do you have any good ideas?" Ding Qilin said to Shi Huaiyi.
"What else can you do to eliminate the enemy using conditions that are powerful to yourself?" Shi Huaiyi said.
"Have all the scouts been sent out?" Ding Qilin continued to ask.
"I should be back soon after I sent it." Shi Huaiyi said lightly.
The scout really came back soon and brought back the news of 100,000 troops.
"The food and grass convoy is in the middle, and it may be difficult to rush to the chaos at night. It may not be possible to rush directly to the camp, which is like facing a head-on battle." The scout came back and said.
Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin pondered that they were good at night attacks, but just one attack was far from enough.
To get the greatest value at the lowest cost, it is not just to harass it, but to burn all the food and grass used by the enemy.
Emperor Yang of Sui in Jiangling may not be short of soldiers, but he must be short of food. In terms of food control, he will definitely not send anyone to provide food to the soldiers and horses.
In theory, as long as the enemy's food and grass is destroyed, it can successfully cause the greatest damage to the enemy, and will increase pressure on Emperor Yang of Sui.
Jiangling's grain reserves all need money to buy, and even if the emperor wants to provide 600,000 troops, it is quite stressful.
It is impossible to use a tough method to force all the shops in the city to collect grain.
To achieve the goal with the least price, Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin knew this truth well. The scouts they sent were also working for the enemy's food and supplies at the beginning of the investigation.
"It seems that there is no way, so I can only use some extraordinary means." Ding Qilin said.
Shi Huaiyi nodded and agreed with this idea.
"Call people to prepare and attack the camp at night!"
Hundreds of thousands of people were rushing to the road, so let alone the treatment of rest in the camp. They all chose an open space to rest directly.
They didn't know that just after they had eaten happily, there were suddenly a few more patrol troops in their team.
These people are Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin's people. Several teams successfully mixed into the inspection team, and each of them carried tincture oil and candles that could burn food.
Everyone has it, and if you want to set a fire together, it will be enough to not be extinguished in a short time.
The rest of the patrolman was added, and they didn't know that there were some people.
If two people have experience, they used to want to get in and let the Mavericks do things secretly.
Now they don’t have to sneak in and directly send a patrol team to go in for a striking inspection. The serious expression looks more dedicated than the real one.
Without any accidents, the patrol team successfully found the food area, and the patrol team boldly changed defenses directly with people.
No one was suspected.
Because of this, their plan went very smoothly and no one doubted it.
In a moment, the fire surged into the sky, and it was not the food and grass that burned, but the periphery. Someone immediately shouted: "Someone attacked and killed."
As soon as the chaos came out, the food and grass were lit, and the fire rose instantly, illuminating the night sky directly. The people who were infiltrated turned into stormtroopers to charge towards the route they had planned long ago.
Everyone is like a brave man who is fearless and extremely brave. It is precisely because of this that he has led a group of people to follow them and will not give up if they don’t fight the enemy to the end.
"Run."
This is how the mobs are. After something happens, they are in chaos. Many people look at food and grass at the first time. Unfortunately, it is difficult for them to extinguish it with tincture oil.
Even if the food is extinguished, most of the losses have been lost. Moreover, now that people are attacked at night, their combat effectiveness can only be exerted a little.
When the generals were confused, Shi Huaiyi, Ding Qilin and his men had already achieved their goal. The next step was to carry out a blocking battle and restrict the enemy's actions to consume the enemy's food and grass.
There is not much food and grass for 100,000 soldiers, so their speed will be accelerated. They all know that as long as they arrive in Jiangling, they will not be starved to death.
But they could arrive smoothly, but they could not help.
The fire was successfully set on fire. In the following period, the night attacks did not allow them to go far. Not only were they night attacks, but they would also lead troops to intercept them during the day. They used all kinds of tactics, such as luring the enemy, blocking, traps, guerrillas, and various tactics. The enemy was trembling every day, for fear of being suddenly hit by a cold arrow.
"Your Majesty, the 100,000 soldiers set out from the south encountered attacks from Youzhou soldiers in the middle of the journey. Most of the food and grass losses were lost. Now they have been restrained by the enemy's main force, and they requested support."
"A group of waste, 100,000 soldiers can burn food and grass, what is the use of asking them to."
Emperor Yang of Sui thought about it and felt more and more sorry for the food and supplies he had paid, and wanted to support the troops and horses where he came from now.
"Tell them to replenish food and grass as soon as they arrive in Jiangling, so that they will not delay the fighter plane."
What could Emperor Yang of Sui do? Even if there is food, no one will escort it.
